Will a .30 or .35 caliber brush/bore snake work in a .32 caliber revolver? Or neither?

Bore Snake caliber guide from their web site:
Pistols & Revolvers
24000 .22 caliber
24001 .30, .32 caliber
24002 .380, 9mm, .38, .357 caliber
24003 .40, .41 caliber
24004 .44, .45 caliber

A real cleaning rod, bore brush, and patches is way better for lead bullet leading or jacketed bullet copper fouling though.

Thanks.

It's a .32-20, so almost all the available ammo is pretty soft lead, I think. I inherited it recently, and the bore wasn't looking perfect. After shooting it once and cleaning it, it looks better.

I'm currently using a rod and brush with I assume was originally came with my dad's .357s. That seems to do OK. I don't think the wire shaft of the brush is touching the bore.

Buy the 8mm rifle snake, does wonders on old revolvers shooting lead bullets.

Buy a new .32 bore & .38 chamber brush for the rod, or a new rod if the new bore brushs don't fit the old rod.

You have a 32-20 WCF revolver, and you need a rod and brush to at least properly clean the bottleneck chambers, if not the bore also.

A bore-Snaking won't do it.
